I tried writing in this space about a month ago and got three paragraphs into it before I gave up. I just feel like I'm saying the same things over and over and not making any real changes that stick. But all I can do is try again and keep trying until I get out of this rut.More >>

I've reset my "Get Back on Track!" month to start today. In wanting to synch up with a calendar month, I probably didn't think things through as well as I should have in planning to be very strict with my diet when I had a bunch of special occasions coming up.More >>

Danny Polinsky, 30Total Weight Loss: 135 lbs

Danny has lost 95 pounds since June 2007 and 135 since his highest weight in December 2003. "Just five more to go!" he says.

Danny uses Weight Watchers online and focuses on running as his main form of exercise. "In part I did it because it gave me the maximum return on exercise based on the time I put into it," he explains. "Also because the treadmill gave me detailed calorie, distance and time information."

Danny's breakfast choices:

My usual breakfast is a package of Nature Valley granola bars (they come in a variety of flavors: Oats 'n Honey, Vanilla Nut, Cinnamon, Peanut Butter and Maple so it does a good job of keeping things from getting too routine and monotonous). They have 180 calories.

My other low-calorie breakfast choice is three egg whites on two pieces of toasted whole wheat bread with mustard, ketchup, salt and pepper. This is approximately 150 calories. It's a good way to spice things up (literally) and to save some money!

On days when I know I'm going to the gym and don't have big plans for the evening, I will get an everything bagel with 2 oz of low-fat cream cheese, onions and tomatoes. This is, of course, a lot higher in calories (around 400 - 450). It's a splurge and I only do it when I know I'm going to have a small lunch/dinner and that I'm going to the gym that day. A lot of times it's a nice reward after working out on a Saturday morning and it keeps me from feeling as though I'm depriving myself because it's one of my favorite breakfasts.
